Which of the following is not a feature of the Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin?
A.Ox-Bow lakes dot the plain area.
B.The density of population of plain area is very high.
C.The delta area is covered with Mangrove forests.
D.Slash and Burn agriculture is practiced in this area for land cultivation.✓ Correct
Explanation
The Ganga-Brahmaputra basin is characterized by fertile plains, high population density, ox-bow lakes (formed when meanders of rivers get cut off), and the Sundarbans delta covered with mangrove forests. Slash and burn agriculture (jhum/shifting cultivation) is NOT practiced in the plains; it is practiced in hilly areas of Northeast India by tribal communities. Settled, intensive agriculture is practiced in the plains. Hence option (4) is incorrect.
